JQuery Simplemodal and Tabs Help Needed
- by Dave R
Hi,
I've got an asp.net page containing a Textbox with an Autocomplete extender on it.
It's setup so the user can type a short reference code into the textbox and then choose from the list of matching codes returned by the autocomplete.
On the "select", I then call the server using JQuery. I'm currently using $.get here....
The callback function from $.get checks for "success" and then displays a simple-modal dialog containing info about the item they've just selected.
if (sStatus == "success") {
$.modal(sText, {
overlayClose: true,
appendTo:'form',
onShow: function(dialog) {
$("#ccTargets_tabContainer").tabs();
},
onClose: function(dialog) {
$("#<%=TextBox1.ClientID%>").val("");
$.modal.close();
}
});
$.ready();
}
One of the bits of info being loaded here is a JQuery TABS setup, so the onShow function of the simplemodal is used to initiate the tabs which are within the simplemodal.
Now to the crux of my problem.
If I do multiple consecutive "autocompletes" on the same page it all works fine Unless I have selected a different tab on the tabs in the simplemodal ....If I select a different tab, close the simplemodal and then do another autocomplete I get a JQuery error which seems to relate to a selector doing something with the "old" selected tab that was on the "closed" modal.
I'm clearly missing some sort of cleardown / initialisation somewhere, but can't find what it is. Help?
I've tried "tabs.destroy" before the modal call in the code above and I've tried a $.ready() call as indicated too....
UPDATE: Is it something to do with JQuery Tabs appending my addressbar URL with the selected tab's ID?
